Wondering how to decorate outdoors this holiday season? There are tons of ways to express your creative flair! Make your home a neighborhood sensation with our list of outdoor holiday decorating ideas for every budget.
1. Light It Up
Lights for the holidays come in all shapes and sizes. Use colored and decorative lighting to spread the holiday cheer and brighten your block. Go monochromatic for a more reserved look or your favorite holiday colors for the full effect. Whether you prefer subtle or sensational, layered lighting does the trick.
2. Build a Nativity Scene
Create your own nativity scene using dolls or display figurines. Make an indoor display for outdoor appreciation from a bay window or other prominent first-floor location. Add an outdoor spotlight for a more theatrical feel.
3. Bedazzle Your Walkway
Add a string of seasonal lights for an extra festive touch. Create a shimmering winter walkway with rope lights, glowing snowflakes or even a candy cane trail.
4. Scarecrow Santa
Dress up your scarecrow as Santa for a seasonal twist on décor. Make your own Santa man, woman or child for every member of your family. Dress them up in holiday sweaters for the full festive effect.
5. Display Dreidels
Shop your local party store for large dreidel lights and displays. Debut your collection with white and blue lights, the Star of David and other Hanukkah decorations.
6. Go Color Crazy
The holidays are filled with shades of red and green, so infuse the outdoors with this seasonal palette. You can also choose white, blue, silver or gold for a Hanukkah theme, or go sugar plum fairy with soft whites, pastels and frosted finishes. Be bold with outdoor decorations, including bright and beautiful color concepts.
7. Hang Mistletoe
Nothing feels more classic than holidays than mistletoe. Add pine, garland or other woodsy alternatives around your doorway, lamp post or mailbox for a touch of Christmas spirit. Faux mistletoe works just as well and can be used year in and year out.
8. Make a Wreath
Create your own holiday wreath using pinecones, colorful baubles or any other seasonally inspired material. Get creative with colorful ribbons, faux foliage, winter berries or holiday candy. Whether you make a Christmas wreath, Hanukkah décor or Kwanzaa decorations, display it prominently for the whole holiday season.
9. Add a Gingerbread Man
Gingerbread is a holiday favorite and can be used as a theme both inside and outside. Turn your house into a gingerbread castle or adorn your front entrance with a DIY gingerbread man.
